Prepare to experience an alternative take on attraction. Boys On Film explores the darker side of romance with a collection of edgy, controversial and sexy short films that have wowed film festival audiences the world over.
With a new partner and a quiet life in the suburbs, Jared finds himself tackling new obstacles. How does he live his life as a dignified gay man in a society that does not consider him equal? And how will he handle his partner's constant need to censor any public affection? One horrific event forces them both to figure it out. The finale piece of the Curious Thing trilogy, 'A Lack of Gravity' explores homophobia, activism and gay rights in America. Continuing in the series' format, documentary audio of gay men discussing their experiences with homophobia acts as the film's narration.
Jared is closeted. Sam is straight. They find a connection in each other that they've never had before, but where do they go from there? Over the course of three nights, six gay men sat down for interviews about their experiences, sexual and otherwise, with straight men. Those documentary interviews provide the narration for 'Curious Thing' as we watch Jared and Sam form a friendship that tests the boundaries of what they know about love. But as Jared's walls slowly come down and his passion for Sam grows, things take an unexpected turn.
